Guess who has two thumbs and Teren does answer to?

This guy.

The one saying, "whoa whoa whoa whoa," as he corners into the alley—and those are hold up whoas, for the record. Alistair isn't singing, even though that might have been a clever way to get Teren to drop the knife and cover her ears. "Whoa," he adds for good measure as he comes to a stop beside them. Close enough to grab Teren's wrist, but he doesn't yet. He likes having fingers himself.

He takes quick stock of the situation, eyes sharp and clever despite being set in a big dumb face. Young elf. Doesn't look armed. But Alistair has dealt with enough people trying to kill Teren while looking friendly—never mind trying to kill him—that he doesn't immediately assume she's definitely overreacting. She's only likely overreacting.

"Teren?" he says. It's one third a warning, but two thirds an invitation to explain.
